      Smart people but slow, painful consensus and lack of creativity and entrepreneurship

      Pros

      The benefits are great and it is a stable organization. There are a lot of smart people and many of them care about serving the members well. Kaiser provides great care overall to its members, and that is something to be proud of.

      Cons

      No matter how much new blood they bring in, they still resist changing the culture. It is a lifer's dream of analysis paralysis, lack of reward or value for creative thinking, and the herd mentality. The culture of consensus is sllllooowww and painful, and not in its best interest in today's market.

      Pros

      Most people work at Kaiser for the money. If you really look harder alot of us are there for the patients and the right to good fair medical care. I have been in the business for many years and feel that kaiser trys it's best to see to the medical needs of all its members. I do not have Kaiser insurance for my self or my family due to not being able to see your own doctor when needed. Most of the time you will see who ever is free, that is not good. I think they offer what they say they offer " A HEALTH PLAN" not a sick plan

      Cons

      It being a union is i think one of the downfalls of KP. I know being at the bottom of the pole sucks, you are always the one to work every holiday. On the flip side it is the union that has made us the highest paying hospital in the valley .

      Pros

      Kaiser Permanente is a good company to learn about how large scale entities work. Multiple hospitals are managed and jobs are classified as a facility, regional, or national level due to the large scope of the management. After maybe about 6 months, you begin to see where you fit in the puzzle of things, since projects around here tend to move at snail pace (as with any large scale company). You'll be proud to identify yourself as working for a company that is highly visible to the community. That benefits package is top-notch, but expected of a healthcare profession. The ETO policy is not too shaggy either starting you at 21 days per year.

      Cons

      It's a hit or miss on whether you find your middle management competent and worth your attention. Many disgruntled employees roam the halls because of mismanagement and misguided attention. Well....what's new anyway, that can be seen mostly anywhere, but here it's also prevalent. The way that information is passed down from upper management can also be seen as a mystery to employees lower on the totem pole. At the bottom, you would see many employees just happy to be employed and earning a paycheck, caring less about work, and more about what is going on after work. And now the select few who are allowed to sit in with the big dogs, and get a taste of project management. After about 5 years of this, you can now consider yourself Kaiserized at this point. Most people at this company work outside of their job titles. At the same time, some people barely satisfy it, yet they still have the same job title as YOU do.
